Isaiah 11:8

Compare all

6 “The^a wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.

7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.

9 ^aThey shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For ^bthe earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.

10 “And^a in that day ^bthere shall be a Root of Jesse,
Who shall stand as a ^cbanner to the people;
For the ^dGentiles shall seek Him,
And His resting place shall be glorious.”

Isaiah 11:8

The cockatrice' den - This is supposed, both by the Targum and by Kimchi, to mean the pupil of this serpent' s eye. "When," says Kimchi, "he is in the mouth of his den, in an obscure place, then his eyes sparkle exceedingly: the child, seeing this, and supposing it to be a piece of crystal, or precious stone, puts forth his hand to take it. What would be very dangerous at another time, shall be safe in the days of the Messiah; for the serpent will not hurt the child."
